What is the trunk of the body?

The trunk of the body is the main, central part. It is everything except your head, neck, arms, and legs. You can think of it as the core.

The trunk is made of a few big areas. You have the chest, which is also called the thorax. Below that is the abdomen, which is your belly area. It also includes your entire back and the pelvis at the bottom. The trunk's main job is to hold and protect your most important organs. Your heart, lungs, stomach, and liver are all safe inside. It is the part of your body that connects all the other parts together. I hope this explanation is clear for you.
